Logan Henderson recorded seven strikeouts in five shutout innings as the Milwaukee Brewers beat Baltimore 5-2 on Tuesday night to hand the Orioles their eighth consecutive loss.
Brice Turang, Sal Frelick and Rhys Hoskins homered to help the Brewers win their third straight. Milwaukee’s three homers matched a season high.
Baltimore has gone 0-4 under interim manager Tony Mansolino since the Saturday firing of Brandon Hyde. Mansolino had been a third-base coach on Hyde’s staff.
Henderson (3-0) allowed two hits and two walks while becoming the first Brewers pitcher to win each of his first three career starts. The 23-year-old right-hander has struck out 23 while yielding just three runs over 16 career innings.
Milwaukee took a 3-0 lead on Turang’s solo homer to left-center in the third inning and Frelick’s two-run shot into the second deck of the right-field stands in the fourth. Both homers came off Chayce McDermott (0-1).
Baltimore made it a one-run game in the seventh. Ramón Urías greeted Joel Payamps with a two-out RBI single. Jackson Holliday drove in Urías with a triple off the wall in left-center.
Brewers center fielder Jackson Chourio crashed into the wall trying to catch Holliday’s drive, but remained in the game.
Milwaukee added two runs in an eighth-inning rally that included a Hoskins leadoff homer off Félix Bautista and two Baltimore errors.
Abner Uribe struck out the side in the ninth for his first save of the season.
The Orioles had the tying run on third base after Holliday hit his triple in the seventh. Payamps preserved Milwaukee’s lead by retiring Adley Rutschman on a fly to center.
Henderson’s 23 strikeouts represent the second-highest total ever by a Brewer in his first three career starts. Freddy Peralta struck out 25 batters through his first three starts in 2018.
Tomoyuki Sugano (4-3, 3.08 ERA) starts for Baltimore and Chad Patrick (2-4, 3.35) pitches for Milwaukee as this series concludes with a matchup of right-handers Wednesday afternoon. First pitch is at 12:10 from American Family Field.

The Eastern Conference Finals get underway tonight in New York with the Knicks hosting the Indiana Paacers. It will be the Knicks first trip to the Eastern Conference Finals in 25 years, with the winner of their ninth playoff matchup headed to the NBA Finals. Indiana is led by former Oshkosh North star Tyrese Haliburton. Last year when the teams met in the second round.

NFL owners unanimously approved allowing players to participate in flag football for the 2028 Olympics.
The vote at the spring meetings Tuesday authorized the league to negotiate safety provisions and scheduling logistics with the NFL Players Association and relevant international and national team governing bodies before it becomes reality during the Summer Games in Los Angeles.
No more than one player per NFL club would be permitted. Olympic rosters will be selected by the national committee for each country.
Meanwhile NFL owners will determine the future of the “Tush Push” as they meet in Minnesota, where they’re holding their spring meetings next to Vikings headquarters on Tuesday and Wednesday. After tabling the issue seven weeks ago for further discussion, a vote is expected on the proposal by the Green Bay Packers to prohibit the play popularized by the reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles. To pass the ban, 24 of the 32 teams must approve.
Commissioner Roger Goodell said last month he believes the owners will reach a consensus on the issue that involves both competitive integrity and player safety.
The league released a revised proposal by the Packers on Monday that broadens the language to prohibit pushing, pulling, lifting or encircling a runner by any offensive player, not specific to quarterback assists. The penalty is 10 yards. This is what the rulebook stated 20 years ago, until the ban was lifted because of the difficulty of enforcement.
Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie has been leading the defense of the play his team developed with the coinciding arrival of strong-legged quarterback Jalen Hurts in 2020.
Former NFL great and Ohio native Charles Woodson has joined the Cleveland Browns as a limited partner, the club announced Tuesday.
The non-controlling minority interests were approved at the league’s spring meetings in Eagan, Minnesota. Jimmy and Dee Haslam are majority owners.
Woodson won the 1997 Heisman Trophy at Michigan, played 18 years in the NFL for the Raiders and Packers and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2021. He is an NFL analyst for Fox Sports and lives in Orlando, Florida, where he is an assistant on his son’s high school football team. He also works in the wine and spirits business.
Woodson, who grew up in Fremont, Ohio, said it was a dream come true to play in the NFL but he never expected to be part of an ownership group.
